no bad idea. i think john edwards should be the VP.

I laugh at the comment above:

"Clinton/Obama - yes we can
Obama/Clinton - vote McCain"

That represents that you're voting purely out of spite. That's childish and I hope you rethink your priorities, since they obviously aren't aligned with the country. I actually care about the damage a McCain presidency means.

what ever obama wants. he is smart and will know what is right

I think it is safe to finally acknowledge the truth about the Clintons. With Hillary living in denial and doing everything she can to better herself, at the cost of dividing the party; she is not the right representative for the people as she has not had the democratic people's interests at heart for the last few weeks. We could have all been spending our time on the real enemy, the Republicans. Hillary is false and thankfully, we will nominate the candidate with integrity on his side. Obama's spirit and dedication to all people will inevitably unite the party and bring the White House back to the people in November!

Obama's Presidency is already going to be a circus between his Christian church and his bitter wife. Michelle will be much worse that either of the Clintons could ever be.

I'm curious… If Clinton supporters will not vote for Obama, who will they vote for? If they vote for McCain, I guess it means they didn't care about anything Clinton cares about and promoted in her campaign, no? Strange logic here!

I do not want Clinton on his ticket. She is a bully, liar and a cheater. Republicans will have that ticket for lunch if she is on it. Her negatives are too high and he will lose the Independents.

don't be fooled…if Hillary had the nomination, the only slot Obama would have is shining bubbas' shoes….REJECT this woman…

Obama wont be able to get in even riding on Hillarys skirt tales. The new found Republicans, the new McCain Democrates are formed. Obama created history alright, he split the Democrate party and moved us over to the Republicans, wtg Obama, thanks for destroying my party for me. Go McCain Democrates, we have been let down, our voice can now be heard. No way Obama, even if he tries using Hillary to get in.

It doesn't really matter what the Democrats of South Dakota want because in November the state will go for McCain. It is a heavily Republican state (I'm originally from there–I know this), and it hasn't chosen a Democrat since LBJ in '64, and FDR was the last one before that!

The opinions of folks in the swing states on this issue are what you want to study.

Please anybody except Hillary. She is just like McMellan going to make money with a new book. "My second time in the White House at the wrong Job"

I do not think that Obama should pick Hillary. It would bring destruction to his presidency.
I think he should be able to make up his mind with the press or people threating. He is a real leader.

Clinton is an amazing politician, but putting her on the ticket in this situation would be a deadly mistake. A critical weakness. The same person who says he's not ready to be President is now his running mate? It just won't work.

Hillary Does Not Deserve It! Give Her A Very Low Level Cabinet Position! Dont Let Her Near The White House!

ooo … do we trust Hillary enough to have her in our ticket.

Yikes, there's a lot of ire on this topic.

Obama should select whomever he believes would be the best vice president for this country. The Clinton campaign, Clinton supporters and the media should stay out of it.

Pakuna,don't be such a raving idiot.

im with the 45%

Joint Ticket?… how can we do this if Clinton believes that McCain is a better leader than Obama?

Plus is Clinton a divider or a uniter… we need a uniter, correct?

Sexism 101:
"Hillary is too strong a personality " or the other hateful things being said.

Do you want a weak VP? Watch - if a man is chosen for VP, it will be "he is a good strong VP to run with Obama".

This might be too forward for this country right now, but we could break the race and sex barrier at the same time. It is OK - we'll survive.

If he selects her as HIS vp, he better get a food taster!!!!

Obama 08′ 12′

GET REAL PEOPLE! It just does not matter. Obama will be crushed in November. Can you say landslide!!!!

I'm a liberal democrat - but a realist - it is what it is. Four more years of no health reform and the war continues. If I want to waste a vote I'd support Ralph Nader (someone else that CAN NOT WIN).

to quote - The Republican Party is the party of bad ideas. The Democratic Party is the party of no ideas.

IF HILLARY IS VP, BARACK BETTER HAVE A FOOD TASTER ON STAFF!!!

Hillary Clinton is the best candidate for President. If the party leaders want Obama, they can have him. His left-wing liberal ideas will be his down fall in November. I will vote only for Hillary Clinton. I will write her on my ballot in November. I don't want Obama as even as VP. He is not what he appears to be. A wolf in sheeps clothing. His Church will be his down fall. Obalegerwright will never get my vote.

I do NOT trust this woman. There is another mission for her, she needs to learn from this experience that dishonesty, arrogance, mis-management DOES NOT give you the right to the white house.

Oh jesus please pick her as vp. In a race that has broken records for the amount of people who voted for EACH candidate, not just one, this is the only way to heal the divide. People (i.e. alot of Obama supporters) just naturally dislike Clinton because they were either raised to dislike her or unfounded Repub bs through the years has "proven" that they should dislike her. In fact there are a hell of a lot of her supporters who would not even consider supporting him, on top of blue-collar dems in must-win states. No matter how you feel about it, the FACT remains that more defectors in the Democratic Party lie with supporters of Hillary, not just because you think that 17 million people are sore losers, but because of a slew of reasons. Give them one NOT TOO. Be MATURE and realize the facts of the past year and a half, before spouting personal ideology that will not affect anything.

THEY JUST NEED TO GET OVER THEMSELVES, IT AIN'T NOTHING WRONG WITH WANTING. THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS MOST SUPPORTERS OF OBAMA DO NOT WANT A JOINT TICKET, WE DO NOT TRUST HILLARY , WE DO NOT LIKE THE WAY HILLARY HAS CONDUCTED HERSELF THROUGHOUT THIS RACE.

IT IS NO ONE BUT HILLARY SUPPORTERS THAT IS PUSHING FOR THIS. THIS IS THE VERY REASON HILLARY HAS REMAINED IN LONGER THAN SHE SHOULD HAVE NOT BECAUSE OF THE WOMEN OR VOTERS, BUT FOR HER OWN SELFISH REASONS THE SOONER YOU ALL GET THAT THE FASTER YOU WILL HEAL A ND BE ABLE TO MOVE ON PAST HER. NOW SHE THINKS SHE CAN STRONGARM OBAMA INTO PUTTING HER ON HIS TICKET.

IF YOU GO TO MSNBC YOU WILL GET THE TRUTH, CNN IS CLINTON NEWS NETWORK THEY ARE PUSHING FOR HILLARY WHY ELSE ARE THEY ON TV SAYING THAT MOST OF OBAMA SUPPORTERS WANT A JOINT TICKET WHEN MOST IN THEIR BLOGS ARE TOTALLY AGAINST IT, THEY ARE PUTTING THEIR SPIN ON THE TRUTH!

Obama doesn't need Hillary. He needs Webb, Edwards, Richardson, or ever Haggle.

The problem with offering the veep spot to Hillary is not so much Hillary as it is Bill.

Obama cannot afford the negatives of either of them.

The one thing I cannot forgive is Hillary's 3 a.m. "commercial." She cut her political throat with that garbage.

Nooooooo!

I don't see how Hillary adds anything to the ticket. Any disgruntled supporters who don't vote or vote for McBush would be outweighed by all of the Independents that won't vote for a ticket with Hillary on it.

Obama/Nunn in 2008!

It's not only about winning the general election, it is also winning with some principles. Two in one ticket can complicate the message that Obama is trying to send to the people. Also, I don't think Hillary could be a good VP. She can rather stay in the Senate and keep bickering with Repulicans.

I believe Obama's team should take time to deliberate on this very important issue before making any decision.

that is a trouble idea, she should not be his VP, she is a liar, and probably would try to kill him for the presidency, since she is willing to do anything to win.

Absolutely NOT! If Obama thinks he needs a woman on the ticket there's PLENTY of capable an not disgusting ones in the party

The choice of a vice president belongs to the presidential candidate. Although many people would like to see Hillary as veep, he must not be brow beaten or forced into compromises that may go against his convictions. What are we saying, " you can be the candidate but you have to take Hillary with you?" That's not how it should be.

OBAMA IS NOT A GENUINE "PROFESSOR" OF CONSTITUTIONAL LAW, as he likes to claim.

He is a "Lecturer," "Instructor," or "Adjunct" Professor, terms that are synonymous. These positions are NOT tenure-track positions (not permanent), and their responsibility is only to UNDERGRADUATE education. Anyone who actually attended college or university understands that.

Hey nitwit Karen………………over 18 million people like her well enough.
You can have that fool obama but this Clinton supporter will never vote for him.

We just need to win the white House Period. So that in the next 4 to 8 yrs Rush Limbur and Shane Hinnity ( junkyard Dog by 60 minutes). Both will not have a job. They do not understand that America is changing for the best.

Washington Post just reported that Obama has won the nomination!

That would definitley be the ultimate mistake. After all the kitchen sink and mud slinging, and Bill talking all of his junk….an atrocity if it happened.

Shannon-

That's not media bias…that's a fact! Google Peter Paul vs. Clinton. Check out her/theri involvement with numerous characters guilty of illegal campaign fundraising/contributions. Being an extortionist is the only thing she is good at. Ask BIll, she' learned alot since losing that healthcare battle over 10 years ago. She is not electable, don't be fooled…and THAT is where the media bias is to be found.

She will try to run the show! Watch out Obama!

This should be Obama's choice. He should take a month off from this decision and let all the dust settle, clear his head, gather possible choices, do some polling, and get the independant reality — not just what Hillary says is reality.

He needs to separate 'good for running' from 'good for working with for 4 years'.

All that said, I wish he would stay away from the Clintons.

No Hillary on the ticket. I won't be able to vote for her. Barack does not need her and she needs to head back to NY.

I cannot understand why the media is pushing this issue. He should not be pressured or bullied into putting Hillary on his ticket. It should be his choice. She does not represent change. Put her in his cabinet I can handle, but as VP, I will not vote.

Obama will not win without Hillary.

Obama bad. He leave our church for no reason but to get whitey's vote. Bad man.

The media tells America who to vote for just as the radio top 40 tells you what to listen to. It's a personality and popularity contest even though 99.5% of people will never meet the President. Americans are the media's puppets and a herd of sheep.

who cares what they won't, he has the right to pick his own v.p!!!! Don't fall for the oke doke, the media trying to spin this. What about obama supporter, we will not vote if Hallary's on the ticket.

Picking Senator Clinton as a VP would be a very mixed bag at best.

While it will placate some of her rabid supporters, does that offset the nightmare of having a running mate who has shown they do not believe in keeping thier word or acting in any sort of dignified manner?

Honestly, I don't see her even really wanting to be VP. I just don't think she is ready to completely face the reality of the situation yet. After all, it wasn't until the past 48 hours that she and her people were willing to admit she might not win the nomination.

Not paying attention to the popular vote is insane, Let's tell people your vote doesn't mean anything. Give me a break. The media is in Obamas corner.

You dont want to piss off the 18 million that got you here, right .
THEN NO to the CLINTONS

ps Barack what have they done for you

She got every vote he did, worked twice as hard and knows twice as much - she has EARNED the VP slot.

And if it is not offered - her ardent supporters will go elsewhere - or stay home.

Too many republicans in here for my blood…They know all too well a Obama/Clinton ticket is unbeatable….so they come in here to try and sway our opinions one way or another…

Not going to work guys/gals…..REPUBLICANS

Obama/Clinton 08′!!

Now that Hillary has allowed leaks about her being willing to be on the ticket slither out, Obama is going to have a hard time NOT offering her the slot.

This is a problem because there are more folks who HATE her than who love her and they will come out of the woodwork in November to vote against her. Maybe the result won't be as catastrophic if she were heading the ticket, but I still think it will hurt the dems in the fall.

Stop bashing the Clintons Obama supporters. How stupid are you? You need the votes now. Keep you pety insults to yourself.

Joint Ticket? Obama would have to be smoking a "joint" to pick Clinton as his running mate. She would be praying something would happen to him so she could take over! Obama has surrounded himself with an awesome group of people this entire race … he can choose someone that will compliment him … Clinton cooked her own goose with all those nasty comments.

To all those who are hidding behind racial sentiments, I would like to put it to you today that Obama's victory has many implications:

1. The false ideology that black people are less intelligent than whites is totally broken

2. Given the black people a fair chance they can even do greater things

3. It calls for intelligent and great people such as Obama to clean away the Clintons.

4. Obama's vicotry is going to be extended to the rest of the world where racism has suppressed the development of black people (such as UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France etc etc)

ABSOLUTELY NOT. DO NOT PUT HILLARY ON THE TICKET. APPOINT HER SECRETARY OF STATE. SHE IS SURE TO BE CONFIRMED.

Obama has earned the right to choose whomever he feels would make a good candidate for VP. His choice must be someone who will add to the ticket not take away from it. Hillary is not entitled to the Presidency or the Vice Presidency. It is clearly his choice!!!

I wouldn't want her to take the VP. Obama gives me the creeps just like Bush.

I believe the media is pushing this issue abit too hard. Obama should not be pushed to picking anyone he does not feel comfortable with.

Hillayr,

Fight on. The delegate votes aren't counted until they're cast at the convention.

No compromises. You should be at the top of any ticket.

HILLARY CLINTON '08

Moving on UP! USA is taking back the world!

You Obama nuts still con't get it. You need us Hillary folks to win.

You and your panel are so full of B.S. Historical moment that a Black Man, is nominated for a Party Ticket? What is going to be HIstorical, is if this person OSAMA, lives to full fill his dreams and aspirations of all those ignorant Black Voters and those few Whites thrown in like cream to coffee. Now that would be Historical.

I look forward to voing again for Sen. Obama. However if he chooses Hillary as his running mate, I will be forced to vote for Sen. McCain.

joe biden or john edwards would be great. hillary has too much baggage aka(bill) !

THIS IS OBAMA'S NIGHT!!!!!!

IT'S NOT ABOUT A RUNNING MATE or for that matter - Hillary!!!!

Run some biographical info - educate the voters, your viewers - POSITIVELY - on who is OBAMA!!! run his family pictures…..

BUT GIVE HIM HIS MOMENT IN HISTORY - without the speculative reporting…guessing …prognosticating…give us a history of the 'black vote in america' - how my late daddy and his kin and my late grandma — and my slave ancestors … and Dr. King are rejoicing — can WE PLEASE HAVE A MOMENT HERE?

Give us a break ( and Hillary) with all this 'crap of speculation…..etc…. yada yada….can u do that/

Hillary Clinton fought valiantly but Obama should chose a candidate who better represents what he stands for. Unfortunately it is not Mrs. Clinton and I believe that a joint ticket would not be successful.

THIS IS OBAMA'S NIGHT!!!!!!

IT'S NOT ABOUT A RUNNING MATE or for that matter - Hillary!!!!

Run some biographical info - educate the voters, your viewers - POSITIVELY - on who is OBAMA!!! run his family pictures…..

BUT GIVE HIM HIS MOMENT IN HISTORY - without the speculative reporting…guessing …prognosticating…give us a history of the 'black vote in america' - how my late daddy and his kin and my late grandma — and my slave ancestors … and Dr. King are rejoicing — can WE PLEASE HAVE A MOMENT HERE?

Give us a break ( and Hillary) with all this 'crap of speculation…..etc…. yada yada….can u do that/

I DONT!!! ANYBODY BUT HILLARY!

NO JOINT TICKET!!!!

Nearly half of Democrats do not want Clinton on the ticket!
Republicans don't like her, independents don't like her, and nearly half of the Democrats don't want her. Sounds like a losing proposition to me. If Obama wants his presidency to be a circus, he will ask her to be his VP. If he truly wants change to happen in this country, he will stay clear of those two lunatics.

A cabinet position, or a Supreme Court nomination, but not VP. You can't have two people trying to drive and Hillary is too strong a personality to play second fiddle with grace. She needs something she can really get her teeth into. A special cabinet level post in charge of health care reform?

Two winners…double our chances of winning in November. Obama/Clinton 08

CNN why are you pushing this down Obama's throat?

I will only vote for Obama who I don't like or trust if Clinton is his runing mate. At least he will have someone with some common sence. I'm nervous even if she is vice president and not sure that he will be voted in as many people agree with me. She is our only hope.

Obama, is not stupid, neither are we. The only ticket Billary need to be on his their own. Bill and his girls are a lot of package. And if there is anything we don't need is someone else's baggage. Give Obama, his staff and cabinet to get us out of the mess, we are in. And in 8 years after Hillary has divorced Bill, then I think it would be great for her to run again.

Clinton should NOT be on the ticket. She has spread so much hate in the party, and I think she did so when it seemed that she was going to lose. This way she would have an argument that if she isn't the VP then her followers will make sure Obama doesn't win. Don't let her get away with this…anyone but Hillary.

P.S.
I'm not a Obama supporter, as most of you probably think!

joint ticket? NO WAY. If you get Hill you also get Bill. Obama needs to be in charge of his own show - we need someone who has NO media baggage. The Clintons do not qualify.

Clinton/Obama - yes we can

Obama/Clinton - vote McCain

No way in hell should Hillary Clinton be VP. Get over it CNN!!!

Absolutely not, DO NOT offer her VP on the ticket!!! She is a witch and if she is on the ticket McCain is a sure winner. NO MORE CLINTONS!!

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER! No more Clintons!

Hillary is NOT ELECTABLE! The Clintons are NOT TRUSTWORTHY AND ABSOLUTELY DECEIVING!

Obama can WIN WITHOUT the Clintons!

I hope Mrs. Clinton does not allow her name to be on a ticket with obama.
She is above that raciest devil. If she is pressured in it I will still not vote for obama. He is the devil incarnate. He is the one that has divided, destroyed the parties, that was his goal to start. do not allow him to destroy the constitution.

NO…
N
O
What part of that do you not understand!

Why would you talk change and then select someone who is so divicive? For political expediency?

I HOPE not. If you do Obama, you are lie all the rest!

CHANGE is getting rid of old Washington has beens and starting afresh! You will loose your support!

Period!

THANK YOU CNN for changing your website to a pic of Obama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with the joint ticket!

But I hate the fact that WHite people are always trying to dictate to african americans what to do.

I dont like the fact that Hillary is trying to bully her way onto the Obama's ticket.

LOL… yes - put together a racist 1-term senator with Bill Clinton's pretend wife.

THAT's a winning ticket!!??

LMAO

Thats the ONLY way he will win… Let us not forget, SHE HAS THE OTHER HALF OF THE DEMOCRATIC VOTE… And her supporters will not vote for Obama…

Obama should be so lucky.

"But the state’s Obama voters give the idea a thumbs-down: 56 percent say Obama should not offer Clinton the vice presidential slot, versus 40 percent that do.

Montana’s Democratic primary voters are more divided: nearly half, 49 percent, think Clinton should join Obama on a joint ticket – but 45 percent do not."

SOLUTION: NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!!!

Hillary will have to work very hard to convince Barack that she would be a good VP. From what we have seen so far - she is far from being good at ANYTHING.

I hope for the sake of the country Hillary turns Obama down.

Obama is awful.

Hillary should not lower herself to that of obamas pawn. He will never get elected without her and i will lose all respect for her if she caves into the DNC.

I just heard one of CNN's reporters call Clinton an extortionist.

With such an insane media bias…how could she win?

I wish everyone would Let Obama pick who he wants to be his VP.

WHAAAA

not going to happen Clinton is going to go away and America will be the better for it!

The ONLY electable Democrat is Barack Obama

moronic Clintonistas

No Joint Ticket. No Hillary at All. Send her buttocks back to New York

Not gonna happen. Next topic…

Let's also not forget besides Barack's brilliant judgement, brilliant campaign management skills he is a constitutional scholar, neither of which hillary or mccain can claim. Barack can teach at any university constitutional law and could be a supreme court justice.
